I have acquired a 914-2.0 from my father which I believe is a model from 74. Its been garaged for 15 years and hasnt been started since. Its currently blocked in and covered with a bunch of old garage junk. Where is a good shop in the Bay Area to get this car road worthy? What is a guesstimate on costs? I would like to maybe drive the car next summer.
Problem areas I saw include: Battery box rusted and area around it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Leaky battery removed 14 years ago. Sticky creeking pedals Grinding shifter Passenger exterior door handle broke and removed. Also maybe a smaller steering wheel for a six footer? The shift lever hits the knee. Ill try and have pictures at a later date once the garage has been cleaned out. Thanks |

QUOTE(soupbone @ Nov 22 2004, 07:49 PM) Thanks for the replies. Going to do a better rust inspection around the battery area and see how bad it is. Everything else looked ok as far as I could tell. I will try and have pictures this weekend. i second HPH (high performance house) in redwood city. brad and rich know these little cars inside out ... but having a shop do the work won't come cheap. post some pictures here so we can all chime in and help you out ... oh, and welcome to the club!
